LEFT TO DIE

A serial killer is loose in the wilds of Montana. The killer targets women driving alone on treacherous, icy roads, shooting out their tires and then "rescuing" them. Eventually, the women are stripped, bound to trees, and left to die. After finding three frozen bodies, Detectives Alvarez and Pescoli join the search before another missing woman, Jillian Rivers, becomes the fourth victim. Alan Nebelthau's performance is mesmerizing. From the moment Jillian's car crashes into a ravine until she awakens in a remote cabin with her rescuer, Zane MacGregor, Nebelthau keeps listeners guessing. Is MacGregor the killer, or is it someone else? Three strong female characters, an assortment of possible psychopaths, Jackson's crisp writing, and a gifted narrator make this chilling audiobook a powerhouse listen. S.J.H.
